Memo to the Minnesota Twins:

When they do finally allow Human Cloning, get started here:

Anyone want to see some new loose photos of the Crimson Empire figures?

Anyone want to see some new carded photos of the Crimson Empire figures (including your first look at the back of the card?

Then what are you waiting for?  Click on the thumbnail below and check out the new pics!

I'll have to clear the date with the Mrs. (), but I think that should work for me... 

Also no one is signed up yet, other than yours truly.

 

Hasbro has a nice update today that features 17 of the last 22...

Not much new but nice to get some "official" names for them.

Didn't JD ask those same exact questions like a month ago, and get like the typical, noncommital "no plans at this time" response?

Pretty much... two months ago on one of them.

Do you plan on getting to the remaining figures from the Kenner Vintage line that have not yet been given a modern sculpt update? (These include Jabba's Palace Klaatu, Lumat, Romba, Warok, Black Bespin Guard, Imperial Commander, Death Squad Commander, B-Wing Pilot, and more). (JD, 6/30/06)

We're still working out all the details for the 2007 line, so we will not be announcing the specific figures until the Fall. Be sure to ask again in a few months!

With the all new SA Biker Scout (Kudos to you Hasbro, that's some super fine work you did), fans are now anxious to know if an all new Speederbike is in the works? The original's sculpt is detailed, however the bike isn't particularly sturdy and it's a bit oversized. A smaller (properly scaled) bike with maybe a clear stand for a hovering effect would be incredibly popular given how many Biker Scouts a lot of us own I'd imagine. (JD, 7/26/06)

Interesting idea. We don't have a new one in the works, but if we do a new bike, we'll take your feedback into account.


Maybe they are taking Hasbro at their word and just doing the "ask again in a few months" bit?

Stuff I bought in the past month:

2006 Saga Ep3 H&V Wave (1 carded)
2006 Saga Ep3 GB Wave (14 carded)
2006 Target Exclusive Skirmish in the Senate (2 openers)

Shipping Expenses (Padded Mailers and Tape)


Well, I'm not sure what to think of the past month. 

In August, I sold a lot of my old POTF2 duplicate/outdated loose figures.  I was using the cash I made in the sale to pay for the Hasbro stuff.  Things were going very well and I was actually running in the positive for the majority of the month. 

Unfortunately though, my Kubrick weakness reared it's head in the last few days of the month.  I grabbed the two carded Kubricks and ended up with another expensive month.   

I guess I'll call it a win because it could have been a lot worse... 

Well, I had a really good month (ie made some good $$ from selling off old loose POTF2 figures and excess Clones), so what did I do?  Yep...  spent the proceeds on something new.   

clicky the pics for larger images!





That does it for the Carded Kubricks! 

Just one more to go for total Kubrick Kompletion... I'm looking at you, chase Red Gauntlets Fett.
